Lady Gaga is set to be saluted with Billboard's 2015 Woman of the Year award.
The pop superstar has been selected as the latest honouree in recognition of her musical and charitable endeavours and she will receive the prize at a ceremony in her native New York on December 11.
"Billboard's Woman of the Year has always represented the finest in music, and the anointing of a key influential figure who drove the conversation for that year," says awards boss Janice Min.
"No one embodies that more than Lady Gaga in 2015. From her show-stopping performance at the Oscars, to her co-headlining tour, to her philanthropic outreach and foundation promoting youth wellbeing and empowerment, to her new role as TV star (on American Horror Story: Hotel), there is no woman dominating popular culture tastes and its evolution as much as she is today. What a force."
Gaga follows in the footsteps of Taylor Swift, who was honoured as Billboard's Woman of the Year in 2014.
